Teams Feature for Private Real Device Cloud

We have introduced the Teams feature for private real device cloud to streamline resource management within organizations. 

With this feature, organizations can get the following benefits:

  • 📌 Allocate Devices: Admins can now assign private cloud devices to specific teams, ensuring resources are divided effectively.
  • 🔒 Exclusive Access: Team members can have secure, dedicated access to their allocated devices for efficient testing workflows.
  • 🛠️ Streamline Management: Teams can manage devices more easily and optimize their testing process.

To get started, check out this guide on private device allocation to teams.

Fetch Mobile App Profile Metrics Using API

In App Automation, you can now get app profiling metrics from your test sessions using an API. You can add this API to your CI/CD pipelines or automation frameworks. This allows you to get real-time performance data—like CPU usage, memory, disk usage, and network activity.

To get the profiling details, send a request to the LambdaTest API. Use your LambdaTest Username, Access Key, and the session ID. The response will include the metrics in JSON format. This makes it easy to link with other tools or reporting systems for more analysis.

To get started, refer to this guide on fetching app profiling metrics using API.

Bonus: We have also added support for network log features for Espresso (Sharding/ Non Sharding) and Flutter Android tests. To get started, refer to this guide on Supported Espresso Capabilities.

Streamline Localhost Testing With the Enhanced UnderPass Application

We’ve upgraded the UnderPass application from Electron v7 to the latest Electron v32. This means you’ll enjoy better stability, faster performance, and seamless compatibility across all operating systems.

But that’s not all—EU users, we’ve got you covered! UnderPass is now available in the European Union. 

Here’s what’s new in the UnderPass application:

💻 Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): You can now enjoy real device support for BYOD setups.
🔒 NTLM Flag and Private IP Support: We’ve added support for NTLM flags and private IPs for improved functionality.
UI/UX Enhancements: The interface has been refined for a smoother, more intuitive user experience.

Important: To test a server that requires IP whitelisting, simply establish a local testing connection and whitelist the following IPs for the respective domain: http://ts.lambdatest.com/

  • 199.58.84.59
  • 23.82.88.184
  • 23.106.34.219

HyperExecute Update: Consolidated Reports, Artifacts, and Browser Support

Consolidated JUnit XML Report Generation

The consolidated JUnit XML report includes detailed information on all executed tests, i.e., which tests passed, failed, or were skipped, along with any error messages and stack traces for failed tests. It is widely supported across CI/CD tools, making it easy to integrate with existing workflows and other tools or systems.

📕 Refer to our documentation for detailed instructions on setting up your project and using the new JUnit XML report

Generate Artifacts for Espresso & XCUI Frameworks

Now, you can download artifacts for your test runs on both Espresso and XCUI frameworks and detailed reports for your Espresso test executions.

  • To generate artifacts and reports for your Espresso tests, add the artifacts: true and reports: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts and --download-report flag with the CLI command

    📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate Espresso Artifacts and Reports

  • To generate artifacts for your XCUI tests, add the artifacts: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts flag with the CLI command

    📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate XCUI Artifacts

Browser and Selenium Updates

  • Firefox Browser Update to Version 132.0

    HyperExecute now supports Firefox version 132.0. This latest Firefox release includes performance and security improvements to ensure a smoother and safer testing experience.

    Note : Firefox 132.0 is currently not compatible with Cypress. Users running Cypress tests should continue to use a compatible Firefox version until an update is released.

  • Selenium JAR Update to Version 4.26.0

    HyperExecute has upgraded to Selenium JAR version 4.26.0. This update includes stability enhancements and bug fixes for better compatibility and reliability across various browsers

Test Accessibility of Your iOS Apps on Real Devices

LambdaTest now supports manual accessibility testing of iOS apps (web and native) on real device cloud. With this feature, you can ensure that your iOS apps are accessible to all users, including those with impairments. 

On real iOS devices, you can now test various accessibility settings, like:

  • Text Size Adjustments: Test how your app responds to different text sizes.
  • Contrast Settings: Ensure that content remains clear and readable with high-contrast modes.
  • Motion Reduction: Verify your mobile app’s compatibility with reduced-motion settings for a smoother, less animated experience.

To get started, check out this guide on accessibility testing on iOS devices.

What’s New in HyperExecute: Detailed Cypress Logs, and Report Email Handling

1. Cypress Detailed Command Logs for Enhanced Debugging New Release

Detailed Cypress Command Logs in HyperExecute generate an extensive, human-readable record of all Cypress commands and their corresponding results, both in the console and as a file. It helps narrow down test logs, making debugging and troubleshooting Cypress tests easier.

📕 Learn how to enable Detailed Command Logs for your Cypress tests.

2. Parameterized Report Email Handling in YAML Enhancement

HyperExecute now supports an enhanced approach for managing multiple email addresses within the YAML configuration file. Previously, you needed to define multiple variables for email addresses (${email1}${email2}, etc.). With this update, a single variable can now hold multiple email addresses, separated by commas or underscores, simplifying report sharing. This enhancement eliminates the need for multiple variables, making maintaining and modifying email configurations easier.

📕 Check the Reports documentation to learn more about it.

3. Browser and Selenium Updates for Linux, Windows, and macOS New Release

Updated the browser versions across multiple platforms and upgraded the Selenium jars. This ensures compatibility with the latest features and security updates, improving test stability across different environments.

The following updates are now live:

  • Firefox: version 129.0
  • Chrome: version 128.0
  • Selenium Jars: version 4.24
